In the simplest sense, ecotourism simply translates to nature-oriented tourism that enhances environmental protection and conservation. It accords tourists and adventurers their desires for adventure without impacting the environment and wildlife, which even comes with the possibility of enhancing the natural environment and promoting conservation.
The GRCS highest ranking official, Mr Fye, made the statement during a tree-planting exercise in Gunjur recently, where he deliberated on the essence of trees and the forests.

He disclosed that one of the aims of their interventions is to “build climate resilience in the communities".
